Unknown fields are rejected with 400. Send Accept: text/markdown to get markdown instead of JSON. Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and empty nested lists are not sent. x-credits is what one call costs. When x-per-items is set, a call costs x-credits for every x-per-items items it returns, and at least x-credits. When a response has a cursor, send it back with the same input to get the next page. servers: - url: https://api.stophy.dev security: - apiKey: [] paths: /v1/domain/whois: post: summary: Get a domain's registrar and key dates description: Costs 1 credit. operationId: domainWhois requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: domain: type: string required: - domain additionalProperties: false example: domain: stripe.com responses: '200': description: The data, and the credits this call used. headers: X-Request-ID: $ref: '#/components/headers/RequestId' x-credits-used: $ref: '#/components/headers/CreditsUsed' X-RateLimit-Limit: $ref: '#/components/headers/RateLimitLimit' X-RateLimit-Remaining: $ref: '#/components/headers/RateLimitRemaining' content: application/json: schema: type: object required: - success - data - creditsUsed - requestId properties: success: const: true data: type: object additionalProperties: false properties: domain: type: string registryId: type: string status: type: array items: type: string createdAt: type: string format: date-time pattern: >- ^(?:(?:\d\d[2468][048]|\d\d[13579][26]|\d\d0[48]|[02468][048]00|[13579][26]00)-02-29|\d{4}-(?:(?:0[13578]|1[02])-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])|(?:0[469]|11)-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)|(?:02)-(?:0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])))T(?:(?:[01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d(?::[0-5]\d(?:\.\d+)?)?(?:Z))$ updatedAt: type: string format: date-time pattern: >- ^(?:(?:\d\d[2468][048]|\d\d[13579][26]|\d\d0[48]|[02468][048]00|[13579][26]00)-02-29|\d{4}-(?:(?:0[13578]|1[02])-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])|(?:0[469]|11)-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)|(?:02)-(?:0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])))T(?:(?:[01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d(?::[0-5]\d(?:\.\d+)?)?(?:Z))$ expiresAt: type: string format: date-time pattern: >- ^(?:(?:\d\d[2468][048]|\d\d[13579][26]|\d\d0[48]|[02468][048]00|[13579][26]00)-02-29|\d{4}-(?:(?:0[13578]|1[02])-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])|(?:0[469]|11)-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)|(?:02)-(?:0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])))T(?:(?:[01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d(?::[0-5]\d(?:\.\d+)?)?(?:Z))$ registrar: type: object additionalProperties: false properties: name: type: string ianaId: type: string url: type: string format: uri abuseEmail: type: string abusePhone: type: string required: [] registrant: type: object additionalProperties: false properties: name: type: string organization: type: string email: type: string phone: type: string country: type: string required: [] nameservers: type: array items: type: string hasDnssec: type: boolean rdap: type: string format: uri required: - status - nameservers - rdap creditsUsed: type: integer requestId: type: string text/markdown: schema: type: string 4XX: $ref: '#/components/responses/Error' 5XX: $ref: '#/components/responses/Error' components: headers: RequestId: description: The request id.
